I'm Kiyone (清音), and I'm very interested in the incarceration of Japanese Americans. I want to write about them because it's especially important to write about their experience, given what's happening in this country. We must never forget our history.

I try to write about their experience, whether it's about the internment/incarceration camps or about their experiences before and after World War II, as my own mother's family was incarcerated, and their stories are close to my heart.

Otherwise, I'm a mix of Japanese and Filipino descent, and I value my heritage. It informs my life experiences, and that's why I'm here writing this.
